Deductions - Expenditure specific to certain industries

DW 2: Bloodstock racing

You could also call this:

“Rules for subtracting expenses related to racing horses”

You can’t subtract money you spend on racing bloodstock or anything related to racing bloodstock from your income.

You also can’t subtract money you spend on getting bloodstock ready for racing, except in two cases:

  1. If you run a business breeding bloodstock, you’re getting the bloodstock ready to sell, and you don’t race the bloodstock yourself.

  2. If you’re paid to get bloodstock ready for racing, and that payment is counted as part of your income.

These rules override the general permission to subtract business expenses from your income.
